Agreed. Plus there's also things to take into account such as safety, flow, long term viability, environmental factors, room for expansion, etc.
There are very few courses in the area that one could legitimately call "well designed." I believe Chuck K. once said something like there are only 2 qualified designers in the entire PNW. Coincidence?
